The video showed the toddler continue to cross and the last vehicle goes by. She is seen crossing the road in front of a white vehicle that moved in the opposite direction.
Only Minor Head Bruises
Another white car moves fast, and the next scene shows the girl lying on the road and her grandmother running to save her granddaughter whom she picks up and pulls to safety, Counton2 reported. According to ABC, the victim was brought to No. 2 People’s Hospital of Liangshan Autonomous Prefecture.
